Some of you already know this, but today is my graduation. I'm a bit nervous because I'm the validictorian and giving speeches in front of a crowd isn't something I enjoy. :-\
If you guys don't hear from me by later tonight, then it will be obvious that I fainted during my speech and will be in a hospital. :!:

Thats not very safe. You could barf and faint at the same time, then choke on your barf. Isn't that sort of how the first lead singer of AC/DC died?
Gross.

I've heard of Brooks, they're not too great from what I've heard. I would recommend that you go to The Art Institute. I will be going there this April after I graduate from Westwood.

Thanks, that actually boosts my confidence. =)
Thanks everyone, I'll post pictures later. =)

yea, I would love to go to the art institure. But its ALOT of $mula$ that I do not have. But......I think that would be a wise decision anyway. Hey maybe It will get me a dope a** job so I can pay back all the loans...........lol.
but then again...i have no idea how much brooks is.

I almost went to Brooks 20 some odd years ago... They used to have a good rep. Don't know about now tho...
the Art Institute is prob just a little more than Brooks... I'd go with AI today...

Good Luck.. not only at your graduation but whereever the wind might take you after that...
You always got friends here and a friend in me.. Something I always do when I'm speaking in front of a large crowd is sit and think about all the good things you went through with your classmates.. Course there are a few jerks.. But hey...
You gotta tell yourself.. I'm up here and you aren't so KISS MY ***! :) You've got a good back behind you and that should be enough to clear your way to the top..
Take it eays and take care.

Thanks Marlin, I've never been this nervous before and this will also be my first time speaking in from of a crowd this large so yeah I got butterflies, moths, birds and bats flying around in my stomach right now.
You guys are really helping out a lot though, thanks for the wise words. =)

*cries to death laughing* Man dippy, that was hilarious.
"I got accepted into the highschool I want to go to."
So did I. I'm in my second year there, the tuition is nuts, like, thirty friggin bucks a year. It's insane.
*laughs to death*
I'm buying a cable soon for that **** xbox, so I'll be on live more often, betchyou can't wait, lol.
Grade 10 is hell in some ways, but a cakewalk in others.

Well, its 11:45 pm here in central time zone, and no EG. Sorry you passed out :). I just hope you didn't throw up on the principal. But congrats on being valedictorian, I know that's not an easy thing to do. I was almost valedictorian, but then like 200 people from my 201 person class all beat me, so I didn't actually get it.
CONGRATS

Congrats sir.
validictorian speach huh? I say get up there, look like you're going to say something and then let out a huge fart.

Good luck, Hurry back, break a leg.
